You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

    I don’t know about “play being poor”. It sounds like it’s more “do lots of drugs without getting arrested or without dealing with the disapproval of people around me”, or “(try to) have sex with strangers” or “indulge in sexual kinks that I don’t want to admit to having with people in the real world” or “pretend I’m a different person for a week so that my shitty reputation doesn’t always make everyone I meet hate me”.

    Sure, for a few days it might also involve living in a tent or living in an RV instead of living in a mansion, but that’s hardly living like a poor person. It’s living like a middle class person on a camping trip.

        Ok… so it’s a “rich person” who makes under $100k but can afford to go camping.
